Partnering with Hope for Justice & Young Living Foundation
Keeping Kids Safe in the Digital World
In June, we shared a preview of our work with Hope for Justice and Young Living Foundation—designing a three-part course for keeping kids safe online. We are pleased to announce that this course is now available for anyone to take.
Today’s youth face a growing risk of being approached by traffickers or exploited through a digital device. According to the U.S. National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the prevalence of this risk is growing at a distressing rate, with a 130% increase in online enticement reports in 2021 as compared to 2019.
The free 60-minute elearning course is built for parents, caretakers, and guardians to better understand the pervasiveness and reality of online exploitation of kids in the U.S.
Through interactive scenarios, real-life stories, relevant data, and engaging videos, viewers will learn effective techniques to minimize risky online interactions, take immediate action, and prevent online exploitation before it occurs.
Training resources include:
Interactive and immersive stories that break down the myths of online exploitation
Learner interactions that provoke personal reflection and debunk what you think you already know
Tangible guides and resources to use immediately with kids of any age
A custom story module that allows learners to engage with a real-life situation to practice and apply techniques to prevent exploitation
We are proud of this work and believe it will have a positive impact on many lives. We encourage you to engage in the training and also share it with others who could benefit from this important information.
